it's over, i'm safe.
gold reflects warmly against the ripples.
distract me from the strafe.
guard me from the fear that cripples.
it's here, it found me.
the sky starts to darken,
i'm useless now; i can't see.
the thunder I refuse to hearken.
take me away from what i feel.
take me somewhere i can sleep.
this would give me time to heal,
i beg you to let me count the sheep.
i'll fall into a land of peace
where i won't feel this weight,
the tension in my shoulders cease.
leave the walls which alienate.
i wish not to remember anything.
i wish to feel real joy.
please tell me my work was for the king.
tell me that i was not a decoy.
